The National Monuments Service's description
Kilbannivane graveyard described by Dunne (2012, 3) as follows; 'The graveyard itself is in a very poor state of repair with many of the twenty-five tombs recorded there in a poor, dilapidated or collapsed state of repair. Kilbannivane graveyard is severely overgrown, unkempt and entirely neglected from a total lack of care or basic maintenance. Consequently it is very difficult to negotiate through the interior. The entrance comprises a black painted iron gate set between two square capped and rendered piers. The graveyard at Kilbannivane is enclosed by a rubblestone wall that is very overgrown with several sections in poor order especially along the N boundary’.
